In keeping with his translation of the destruction of metaphysics into an an-archic philosophy of practice, Sch?mann develops a radical theory of the place of symbols, irreducible either to idealist theories of symbols or structuralist accounts of the symbolic. Symbols, Sch?mann argues, may provide a bridge between ontological difference and politics. They resist being grasped metaphysically, in terms of representation. Instead, their understanding requires a specific way of existence: attending to the coming-to-presence of phenomena. As such, the understanding of symbols discloses a form of praxis that abandons ultimate grounds and opens onto the manifold. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Alongside Sch?mann's theory of symbols, the collection includes essays on the relation between metaphysics, tragedy, and technology; on the \"there is\" in poetry; as well as on judgment. Throughout these characteristically lucid interventions, Sch?mann's most urgent concern remains a consideration of singular and finite practices that enact a release from universal principles. Art and politics appear here as the unworking of ultimate grounds; that is, as practices attuned to a truly groundless form of life. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Reiner Sch?mann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3035804346\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783035804348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Diaphanes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/19\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Reiner Sch?mann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44073555722495,"sku":"9783035804348","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_30b08a40-dc11-45d0-9f7c-e6c4f5a3dc29.jpg?v=1685448516","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-place-of-the-symbolic-reiner-schrmann-9783035804348","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
